Scouts,
The focus of this Tuesday’s meeting will be preparations for the Centennial Campout and a Committee meeting.
Here is what we will focus on for the Campout:
- Timelines
- Meal Planning
- Packing Inspections
- Permission slips
The Committee Meeting will start at 730pm. Parents are always encouraged to attend along with the committee members.
Here is the packing list for the Centennial Campou PLEASE BRING YOUR GEAR WITH YOU TO THE NEXT MEETING. Always pack like you are going on a Backpack trip even when car camping. The goal is that all scouts know how to pack their backpack bag from memory.
1. A pocketknife or multitool
2. A first-aid kit
3. Bring extra clothing to match the weather.
4. Rain gear
5. A flashlight and/or headlamp
6. Trail food
7. Water (2 Liters)
8. Matches and/or a fire starter
9. Sun protection
10. compass
11. Sleeping Bag should be rated to at least 20 degrees. If you can find one that is rated to 0 degrees then even better.
12. The Backpack should have a frame. School backpacks do not provide the support necessary for backpacking trips. I recommend at least a 45L backpack.
13. A Sleeping Pad
14 Class A’s and Class B’s
